Free Web NovelChapter 1255: Chapter 1255 The One That Got Away
Peng Yunhai didn’t even realize he was deluded till after he left.
In his memory, he saw an elder devil cultivator with more than a dozen devil cultivator disciples, chatting about how to report the mineral vein to Ye Liuyun, and then just entered the other courtyard.
He had no idea that he had entered Ye Liuyun’s courtyard and that his soul had been searched by him. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
He hurriedly returned after that and informed Di Mu and others of the incident.
"Is there such a coincidence?" Some people are still skeptical about Ye Liuyun’s coincidental arrival.
"Here’s the plan," Di Mu muttered, "Send two people at the Sacred Majesty level and two at the Sacred Terra level to assassinate Ye Liuyun, while the others provide support."
The martial arts cultivators by his side also had different opinions. Thus, he had no choice but to arrange for those who felt that there was no danger to assassinate Ye Liuyun, while the others would provide assistance.
In any case, whether they succeeded or not, they needed to leave immediately.
If they succeeded, after Ye Liuyun died, someone would definitely come to investigate. If they failed, it meant that this was a trap set up by Ye Liuyun for them.
They divided up the work among everyone and then started working that night right away.
Two martial practitioners at the Scared Majesty levels and two at the Scared Terra level jumped straight into the courtyard to assassinate Ye Liuyun.
The other martial practitioners dispersed throughout the courtyard, making it easier to escape.
By this time, Ye Liuyun had already released Xuan Wu and Scorch and had them wait outside the courtyard.
He instructed them, "You two wait for my signal before attacking. If they’re separated, take the opportunity. Don’t worry about the devil cultivator, Di Mi; he won’t escape. Your focus should be attacking those around him."
When night fell, the martial practitioners who entered the courtyard were immediately detected by Ye Liuyun’s Formation.
"Do it!"
He sent a message to both Vespera and Scorch outside.
The two of them had already selected their targets in advance.
Di Mu and a martial practitioner at the Sacred Majesty level, along with two practitioners who were at the Sacred Terra level, were together. Vespera’s first target was the Sacred Majesty level practitioner closest to Di Mu.
On the other hand, Scorch targeted two martial practitioners who were at the Sacred Terra level. There weren’t any practitioners at the Sacred Majesty level, making it safer for her.
Di Mu had just seen the four martial arts practitioners enter the courtyard.
"Puff!"
The closest martial arts practitioner to Di Mu had already taken out his virtuoso.
"It’s an ambush!"
Di Mu reacted quickly, immediately turning to run. Vespera didn’t bother pursuing him but instead eliminated the other two martial practitioners at the Sacred Terra level before going after the two Sacred Majesty practitioners.
A martial practitioner entered the courtyard at this point, and they soon realized they were in the Illusory Array.
After a few loops, they realised something was amiss. The courtyard wasn’t large, yet they seemed to have gone beyond the yard.
"Illusory Array!" One of the martial practitioners reminded the others.
"Is it set up for us, or is it his basic defence?" Another martial practitioner at the Sacred Majesty level asked concernedly.
"It doesn’t seem like it! If it was for us, someone would’ve been here to attack us, or activated an offensive Formation," another martial practitioner reasoned.
"Let’s see if we can break through this Illusory Array to find out!" A martial practitioner of the highest level suggested.
So the four of them split up to find the flaw of the formation.
Ye Liuyun requested Vespera to act, and he also requested Blue Serpentine to murder a martial practitioner in the Sacred Majesty realm.
He ignored the martial practitioners within the Formation in the courtyard.
As the martial practitioners spread out, they lost each other. Since the Illusory Array separated them, they weren’t any threat. If they dared to attack the formation, Ye Liuyun would activate the Formation’s offence system.
The Xuanwu outside caught up with a martial arts practitioner in the Heavenly Master Realm and retreated. After killing a martial arts cultivator in the Heavenly Master Realm, Lan Bing came back immediately.
After taking down three Sacred Terra practitioners, Scorch returned as well.
"Is that the only Sacred Terra practitioner who ran away with Di Mu? That’s nothing, just get rid of those martial practitioners in the courtyard!"
Ye Liuyun immediately informed Xia Tianqiong about the escape.
After Lan Bing and the others finished off the four martial artists, Xia Tianqiong also received a message.
"The Sacred Terra practitioner has been dealt with, but Di Mu escaped back to Peng Yunhai’s residence."
"Huh? That doesn’t make sense!"
Ye Liuyun had the impression that something was off. Even though Di Mu was aware of the trap, how did he manage to get back to Peng Yunhai’s house?
As he thought of this, Ye Liuyun led Blue Serpentine, Vespera and the rest to Peng Yunhai’s residence.
They raced straight into the courtyard to locate someone because the situation was urgent and they didn’t even knock on the door.
At that time, Peng Yunhai went up to them, pretending not to know why Ye Liuyun and the rest came. He asked angrily, "Who are you?! Why are you breaking into my home?!"
"Stop babbling rubbish! Search!"
Ye Liuyun instructed Vespera to search for Di Mu immediately as he grabbed Peng Yunhai and probed his memories.
"Di Mu sprinted through the tunnel. The tunnel’s exit is about 2,000 miles north of the city! All Conveyor Formations need to be alert to Di Mu’s whereabouts."
After Ye Liuyun finished probing, he sent a message to Xia Tianqiong, sharing the location information with Vespera, and instructing them to pursue the north.
Xia Tianqiong cursed Di Mu for being so sly, and immediately arranged to notify all the Conveyor Formations.
"Have mercy, Lord Ye! I was momentarily blinded by my mistake..." Peng Yunhai begged for forgiveness on his knees as soon as his ploy was revealed.
However, before he could finish his plea, Ye Liuyun killed him.
While probing his memories, Ye Liuyun had willingly sided with them out of greed. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
The information he gave them had caused many deaths of martial practitioners. Such individuals didn’t deserve forgiveness.
After killing Peng Yunhai, Ye Liuyun calmed down and thought about which teleportation array Di Mu could go to.
The distance to the south was far, and Di Mu had a battleship on him that he had to send back. He couldn’t afford to waste time walking back, so undoubtedly, he would choose to use a Conveyor Formation.
As for the other Conveyor Formation, even if Di Mu rushed there, it would take at least ten to fifteen days.
Thinking thoroughly, Ye Liuyun believed that Di Mu was more likely to leave through Piaoyun City’s Conveyor Formation
"The most dangerous place is the best bet! Let’s head to the Conveyor Formation and wait for him to return."
Ye Liuyun put on a mask and donned a set of black robes worn by the devil cultivators to disguise himself, and then, with Blue Serpentine in tow, hurried to Piaoyun City’s Conveyor Formation to wait.
